Encryption specialist PGP Corporation and wireless messaging king Research In Motion (RIM) will bring PGP-secured e-mail to the BlackBerry platform later this year. PGP Support Package for BlackBerry, developed by RIM, enables enterprises to extend PGP security to individuals who use both laptop\/desktop computers and BlackBerry handhelds. It provides users with sender-to-recipient e-mail security by complementing the wireless transmission security and device protection already a part of the BlackBerry architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The solution runs in conjunction with PGP Universal, a series of products for enterprises, businesses and departments requiring multiple encryption and digital-signature solutions managed from a single console. With PGP Universal, enterprises deploy one key infrastructure and may later add new encryption capabilities and devices without changing that infrastructure.<\/p>\n
PGP support is fully integrated in the BlackBerry user interface (see top image) and provides e-mail encryption, decryption, digital signature, and verification services for e-mail sent from and received on BlackBerry devices. Users authenticate themselves with their private key passphrase before decrypting or signing e-mail on their BlackBerry. Outgoing messages are automatically protected according to a centralized policy specified by the PGP Universal administrator. PGP Universal uses PGP Additional Decryption Key (ADK) capabilities, automated key management and recovery, and automated enrollment and centralized policy management.<\/p>\n
PGP VP of marketing Andrew Krcik told SmartPhoneToday PGP Support Package for BlackBerry will be available as part of the BlackBerry handheld 4.1 operating system next month.<\/p>\n
It also requires BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Exchange 4.0.2 or Lotus Notes 4.1 and PGP Universal Series 500 plus PGP Desktop 9.0 or PGP Universal Satelite client to run.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Krcik said PGP brought the idea for the solution to RIM because they shared so many customers and it filled a need requested by many enterprises. “BlackBerry is the overwhelming leader for enterprise mobile messaging. By providing an integrated PGP Universal and BlackBerry solution, we address a strategic requirement of our joint customers,” according to PGP CEO & President Phillip Dunkelberger.<\/p>\n
PGP Support Package for BlackBerry costs $249 per client, with volume discounts available for channel partners.<\/p>\n
